    just reading AFL website - GC using PSD against Adelaide in Greenwood deal. if GC are 100% locked in on Greenwood and going to shaft Adelaide. leaves us with PSD2 as a free hit for Langdon. would wait on dealing out 2nd rounder for him. just to [censored] you Bell

    Think this will go late and also think/hope it will involve splitting the pick. Freo will want to get the Hill trade done so they have better idea of where their at. Langdon + pick 6&7 for pick 3,22, future 2nd and third. Just hoping have no info 

    Means they will have pick 3 will be able to pick up Henry too and their academy players next year.

    If GC push Greenwood through to the PSD, then we should absolutely do the same with Langdon.

    Freo marching around banging on their tiny chest like they are King Kong.

    I was just thinking that too.

    Clubs have held off doing that for some years now, but I think once one does it, there might be some flood gates creaking at the hinges. If a club like Freo decides to make a preek of themselves and not play fair, they deserve to be taught a lesson IMO

    we would be mad not to.

    It's one of the few upsides from this disastrous year.

    Our pick 2 is almost a high pick 1. Should get us something decent at the draft and we need some quality draftees.

    My offer to Freo would be this years third or next years second. If not PSD.

    It's funny, we want to give up next years second, but that pick might help us get King next year if we want him. By giving it up we hurt our chances (maybe we are no chance anyway).

    A bird in the hand...

    Langdon wants to come to us.  I've seen or heard no indication whatsoever that King wants to come to Melbourne.

    My AFL daily email says we are confident of getting Langdon deal done by end of week, which I assume is tomorrow.

    How would a second rounder next year land us King???

    I have an inkling that some here are going to be miffed when we pay more than pick 21.

    No knowledge, just from previous dealings where Mahoney has given what he feels is fair market value fr his targeted player.

     

    Langdon is going to be a super pickup for us. Will be delighted if it is just pick 21.

    especially when it doesn't need to be paid.

    Won't surprise me though....

    To me the value is what is paid to the player...the trade to the former club is just a device... nothing fair or otherwise about it. Ask the power clubs using the Free agency to pillage the lesser clubs.

    If Gold Coast has used the P.S.D as a threat against the Crows, it would certainly push the Dockers to accept a lesser deal than they would like in an ideal world.

     

    I will be happy with a 2nd round pick. Langdon is a quality player.

    GCS were always low risk to take Langdon so the option has been there for a long time. It just needed to be played out properly and Freo would have been ripe for a thrid rounder or a deferred second

    There is no way they’ll pay more than this

    Our second rounder is fair. If it ends up being that for Langdon then it's a good deal for everyone involved.

    Langdon for pick 22 is fair. He is and will be a very good pickup.  Has the outside run that we desperately need. 

    It’s been the go. Hope Freo aren’t being ridiculous and asking for more.

    Might need to find a set of steak knives to go with that.

    I'd really like us to be holding out for our future 2nd rounder, play some hardball with them....oh wait we don't do that!

    Langdon pick 22, Murray DFA, Tomlinson RFA. Not too bad if you ask me. 

    And some pick upgrades would be an excellent trade week result.

    Any info ET or just guessing?

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
